What is the average cost of housing in Mexico?

If you are thinking about moving to Mexico, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing...

"I purchased a pre construction condo right on the beach built by the best developer on the Baja. It has tons of amenities and beautiful ocean views. I paid $350,000 before I upgraded it. I wanted to be close to my Son and 6 month old grandson and could not afford or want to afford anything in the San Diego area. Where else on the West coast could I have done this? The Condo just South of downtown Rosarito is 1 hour away from my son's house coming back into Mexico and maybe an hour and 45 minutes going there on a good day. Much better than my 5-6 hour drive from Las Vegas. I already have equity in the condo since prices have climbed. I love Mexico, the people and the food! If you are contemplating this go rent there for a while and check it out but come with an open mind. It is Mexico not the US so don't expect much to be the same but be open to new adventures. You only live once," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Rosarito, Mexico.

"The cost of housing in Mexico varies greatly depending on where you live. In general, the cost of housing in cities is more expensive than in rural areas. The cost of renting an apartment in Mexico can range from relatively affordable to quite expensive, depending on the size and location. On average, housing in Mexico is significantly cheaper than in many other countries, and is particularly affordable in rural areas," commented one expat who made the move to Mexico.
